A ship's captain reported an explosion a distance from the vessel 63 nautical miles southwest of Yemen's Hodeidah, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency said on Tuesday.
British maritime security firm Ambrey also reported an incident where a merchant vessel observed two "close-proximity" explosions also 63 nautical miles southwest of Hodeidah.
The vessel and crew are safe and the ship is proceeding to its next port of call, both UKMTO and Ambrey said in two advisory notes.
Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Palestinian Resistance movements carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.
Yemeni Armed Forces have said that they won’t stop their attacks until unrelenting Israeli ground and aerial offensives in Gaza, which have killed at least 27,948 people and wounded another 67,459 individuals, come to an end.
The United States and Britain in December announced a military coalition to target Yemen in support of Israel.
